How are the democrats going to turn red Texas blue if Texas keeps out the illegal immigrants? From Tyler Durden at zerohedge.com:
The political left will consistently deny that they desire open borders in the US, but in every policy initiative and in every action they take to impede conservative states they reveal the opposite intent.
Reports are coming in from Governor Greg Abbott’s “Operation Lone Star” and the results are impressive so far. Launched in the spring of 2021 after it became clear that Joe Biden intended to eventually remove Title 42 protections put in place during the Trump Administration, the project joins Texas law enforcement and the Texas Department of Public Safety with the Texas Nation Guard to secure the failing border. More effective border fencing has been constructed, efforts to apprehend migrants have been expanded and actions to prevent transportation of migrants through the state have been implemented.
Operation Lone Star has caught over 400,000 illegal immigrants and seized over 422 million doses of fentanyl. However, some people are not pleased with the successful outcome, namely Democrats and the Biden White House.
As video footage circulated across social media of immigrants swarming border towns like El Paso, Biden claimed he intended to “crack down” on illegal crossings. But in reality, the Department of Justice has been trying to thwart Governor Abbot’s efforts for the past two years. They tried to stop his organization of national guard at the border, they tried to stop his efforts to punish “coyotes” and immigrant smugglers, and most recently they are attempting to prevent him from using floating border barriers on the Rio Grande.
They want every state dependent and EBT recipient they can get.
Some debate over the Sun Tzu quote about an evil man burning down his own country just to rule over the ashes but it fits.
